Social Theory Timeline

This social theory timeline outlines important sociological thinkers from Auguste Comte in the early 1800s through contemporary theorists. It shows the development of social theory from the founders and early pioneers known as the "Parents of Sociology" such as Comte, Mill, and Marx, to the "Sociological Trinity" of Durkheim, Weber, and Simmel, followed by the "New Classics" and "Marginal Classics" that expanded on their work in the early 20th century, leading to today's "Contemporary Canon" that builds on their foundational contributions.
